Lenovo's Next-Gen Legion Go Gaming Console: What to Expect
Lenovo is reportedly working on a significant upgrade to its Legion Go handheld gaming console. Launched in late 2023, the Legion Go offered a powerful AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor and a stunning 8.8-inch 144Hz QHD display for an immersive gaming experience.
Focus on Improvement:
According to Clifford Chong, Lenovo's Asia Pacific gaming category manager, the company is dedicating significant resources to improve the Legion Go. This comes after acknowledging that the first iteration didn't quite match its competitor, the Steam Deck, which launched in 2022.

"We've unlocked more experiences since launch and are still working hard to bring the next wave of features to the product," said Chong. This commitment highlights Lenovo's belief in the handheld gaming console market and their desire to offer a product with even richer functionality.
Heating Up the Competition:
The handheld gaming console market is seeing increased activity. With ASUS set to launch the ROG Ally 2 this year, Lenovo faces strong competition. This adds fuel to the fire for Lenovo's investment in research and development for the next-generation Legion Go.
First-Gen Lenovo Legion Go Specifications:
For those unfamiliar with the first-generation Legion Go, here's a quick rundown of its specs:
- Weight: 1.88lbs (852 grams)
- Battery: 49Whr
- Operating System: Windows 11
- Display: 8.8-inch, 2560x1600 resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, 500 nits peak brightness, 97% DCI-P3 color gamut
